I filled Divoce but is not completed yet still in court, now I want to bring my girlfriend from Africa which I'm planning to marry after my Divoce went through. my question, Is can ok start process on filling  her as my Fiance or do I need to wait until my Divoce is completed? Please I need advice

Wait until divorce is complete.

 

Africa is a continent, by the way. So, level of scrutiny differs from one country to another, just FYI.

1) divorce.

2) get divorce decree

3) marry your fiancee

4) file for CR1

5) report back to say “thank you for telling me to file for CR1 instead of K1”

Wait until your divorce is completed because you aren’t legally free to marry at this time. You will also need to include a copy of the divorce decree in your  petition

I would suggest you take this time, for your girlfriend to try to get a tourist visa, so she has the option to visit you during the process.

Depending on the country in Africa and her circumstances (strong or weak ties to her home country), it may be more feasible for OP to visit his/her girlfriend during the process.  Having a boyfriend/girlfriend in the US could make it very difficult for her to get a B2.

For high fraud countries in Africa, like Morocco and Nigeria, you will need solid relationship evidence.  Make multiple visits to your girlfriend from now until you get the divorce decree in order to have as much evidence as possible to submit with your petition.

 

As @Rocio0010 mentioned, CR1 is better than K1. Therefore, make one of your trips just after you get the divorce and get married to file the I-130.

what u are planning is a red flag to immigration

 

Marriage soon after one person's divorce

Again, a marriage by someone who was presumably not free to date until recently could indicate that the "courtship" was suspiciously short. (Or you might have to prove the existence of a long affair!)

It seems you have a taste for trouble and complicating your life. 😁

Also I saw that your profile says naturalisation complete - were you the immigrant in your first marriage? 
 

If so is your girlfriend from the same country? 
 

And crucially, did you know her before your first marriage?

Without a divorce decree at best your I-129F will get an RFE.  If the decree shows a divorce date that is after the day you filed I-129F, it will be rejected.

No, you cannot file a fiance petition while you are still married

Get divorced first, you will need the Judge signed off certified copy of the divorce decree, suggest you get a few certified copies of it.

Get ready for red flags, of marrying so quickly after divorce., &  especially since you immigrated yourself.

Are you and her from the same country?
